Creative Parenting

I was on duty last night, but the most amazing thing happened. My son, while brushing his teeth, lost a tooth! Now, judge me if you like, but we play the tooth fairy game at our house. We usually put a dollar under the kid's pillow if Sam or Tim loses a tooth.

Last night there was a problem though. Tim's tooth went down the drain! Alas...nothing to prove to the tooth fairy that he had lost one for her to take!
